Medical Research: Nutrition and Food Science

Laboratory scientists conducting nutrition research with vegetables, fruits, and lab equipment.
The journal serves nutritionists, dietitians, food scientists, clinicians, public health professionals, and researchers focused on improving health outcomes through food and nutrition. Both basic and applied research, as well as interdisciplinary studies with clinical or population health impact, are welcomed.
